The paper copy of the Oregonian has shrunk to the size of a newsletter. It used to be a good read. Now, it still has decent local coverage but it's just not worth the buck or more they charge at the local 7-11.
I hope it can survive the switch to digital. We still need local coverage about the goings on in Oregon's finest city.

At one time or another I delivered the Oregonian, the Oregon Journal, and the Community Press. I remember the Community Press and the Times having different publications for different areas. Those were local to each city I think. Back in the 70's the printed press was how everyone started their day. Lots of us paper boys delivering newspapers on our bikes with those bags we slung tossing papers in front yards. Damn I'm getting old. I remember the Milk Man as well.
Medford is not my favorite city in Oregon. There's some beautiful country down there though. Northwest of Medford there's the Rogue River. I'm glad they started removing dams years ago.
After dam removals, Oregon's Rogue River shows promising signs for salmon
In just three years, four Rogue River basin dams have been breached, including Gold Ray Dam this summer. Signs are salmon like the change.

They sucked. The papers were so much bigger. An extra sports section, lifestyle, comics, business, etc... If I remember correctly they would drop bundles off curbside along your route on Sundays so you didn't have to keep riding back for more papers and everyone would have it delivered by the time they woke up and had their morning cup of coffee. Back then it was Yuban, Hills Brothers, or Folgers. Some people were drinking decaffeinated instant Sanka. There was no gourmet coffee in America back then.

About once a year, for around a month, i get the Sunday paper. It's been happening for more than 10 years, and followed through like 3 states. Whatever city's paper decides to try and lure me in with a free taste, I enjoy the month of comics. It's not in front of the neighbors, so not free samples, its odd.
I would have preferred bernie, to each their own.

It really does crack me up. I used to get the wall street journal and financial times back in like 2005 as I had free subs in grad school. They named names though and it just follows me around. Kansas city star still trys to get me to sign up, i moved outta that town a long while back, at least the Denver post is relevant.
when i was just married they did the same thing to increase readership in 1986, but then Windows 95 came out and our world was never the same..see? aliens.
the aliens have come all this way with their technology to anal probe. makes sense.

One of the likes you received is from a convicted pimp and sex trafficker. It has nothing to do with you.
